The best title for this passage may probably be . A. Environment Agency B. Technology In Flood Defenses C. Flood Warning System D. Easter Floods 答案 72.D 73.B 74.B 75.C Passage 90 Early people had very little effect on the environment. They lived in eaves in very small ' elan'groups. They collected or killed only enough for the dan's survival. Early clans were nomadic, which means that they did not stay in one place. Instead, they moved around, following the animals that were their main food source and seeking areas where seasonal plants grew wild. Moving around seasonally helped to protect the environment. The land had time to recover and animals had time to breed before the clan returned for the next season. As time went by, these small family clans joined with others to form larger groups for protection. Joining with other clans gave them more hunters and more women to help cut up the meat and share it between families. Eventually, people tamed wild animals such as dogs and horses. People settled around rivers and fertile plains to share responsibilities and duties. Then, people began to plant crops instead of moving to areas where the plant grew. This development changed the environment. Traditional forms of work also changed. Some people were hatter at performing a particular task than other clan members, so they began to specialize in things they were good at doing. This also meant that they began to exchange their goods for things that others produced. People began to communicate with distant tribes. Land was cleared for roads. Foreign plants and animals were transported to places where they had not existed before. Specialization also gave people more free time. So art, dance and music became important ways of expressing feelings and thoughts. This was how many great civilizations started. Compared to the past, modern civilization has experienced many changes to become the highly developed society that exists today. Populations have increased rapidly. Forests have been cleared for farms. Inventions and technology have made work easier. However, pollution and other serious problems have also resulted from human progress. As concerned citizerns, it is up to us to learn from past mistakes and to help maintain and improve our environment. 【查看更多】

 

題目列表(包括答案和解析)

    Despite the high technology and investment (投資) in flood defenses by the Environment Agency (環(huán)保局), there is no way to stop all flooding -- sooner or later nature will produce something that will beat even the strongest defenses.

    Warning people of tiffs danger is very important if we are to prevent the great loss of life seen fifty-three years ago. Indeed if the Flood Warming System that currently exists had been around on that cold, stormy night in January 1953, many lives would have been spared.

    The Environment Agency took over the role of flood warning in 1995 from the police who had to go door to door or sound alarms to get the news out. The service is being constantly improved and a combination of better technology and increased investment following the Easter Floods of 1998 has led to the creation of Floodline and an automatic (自動) messaging system that can warn thousands of people in very little time.

    Floodline 0845 988 1188 offers information and advice 24 hours a day and if warnings are in place, callers can get information either from local updates or by using a quick dial code for their area.

    The Flood Warning team in Kent has also sent letters to the people living close to the rivers or the sea and invited them to join the AVM (automated voice messaging) system. Anyone choosing to take up this free service will receive a recorded message directly to their home, business or pager telling them of tile level of warning, giving them as much time as possible to carry out their flood plan and save items that cannot be replaced if lost or damaged, such as photographs or children's favorite toys.

     a. Many people lost their lives in the flood in 1953.
